FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 1, 1873,
Rev. F. M. Haygoodhas been called to,and
accepted, the pastoral care of the Baptist
church in Sparta.
A large fire recently occurred in Norfork,
Va., causing a loss'of about $150,000 -worth
of property.
It is stated that among the Republicans of
Mass., there is n sentiment -which is not fa
vorable to Boast Butler’s aspirations for the
Gubernatorial chair of that State.
Two prize fighters, Arthur Chambers and
George Siddons, left New York a few days
since to fight at Rockaway, at day break.
George Siddons was arrested before he ar
rived at his fighting spot.
Vice President Wilson is in a rather pre
carious condition. He has had a paralytic
stroke and his face is represented as being
distorted, and he has patly lost the power of
speech. _
W. W. Whipple, late cashier of the Nor
folk P. O., and who upon the charge of em
bezzlement, had fled, was arrested in New
York some time since, waived an examina
tion on the 26 ult., and agreed to go volun
tarily to Norfolk for trial.

The steamer, Jennie Howell, on the Mis
sissippi river, ^hile on the way from New
Orleans to Cincinnati, struck a snag at Cur
lew Point on the 26th ult., arid sank in fifteen
feet water. Mrs. Pringle and two children,
and Mrs. Ring, of Vicksburg, were drowned.
During last week a terrible conflagration
occurred in Baltimore, Md., destroying eight
blocks of buildings. The loss is variously es
timated from $300,090 to $1,000,000. Sixty
families were left homeless. The University
of Maryland and the Maryland Academy of
Art were partially burned.
The Editor of The Christian, a religious pa
per published in Boston, has very kindly
proposed to furnish his paper to the srib-
• scribers of the Southern Evangelist without
charge, for the remainder of the year. This
liberal proposition was made to Mr. E. Hol
land, Business Manager of the Evangelist,
and was accepted by him in behalf of the
subscribers of his paper, which was suspend
ed in June.
Gen. Kershaw, W. D. Porter, and R. M.
Sims, a committee of South Carolinians
have been to Long Branch to intercede with
the President in behalf of the Ku-Klux pris
oners of S. C. The President expressed
hims elf as being in favor of pursuing a liberal
policy towards all except|those charged, and
probably guilty, of similar crimes.
Ex-Governor Jenkins has published a card
in the Chronicle & Sentinel to remind the
people of Georgia of the relief extended to
the South after the war, by the Ladies’ South
ern Aid Association of Baltimore, and he
calls upon our people now to assist in alle
viating the distresses of the sufferers by the
late fire. About sixty families have been
rendered homeless, and a considerable num
ber are thrown out of employment It is
well that our people should remember them
in time of need.
Xetter from the Mayor.
Mayor's Office, )
SandersviUe Ga.,.July 30th 1873. j
To the People of SandersviUe: In view of the
fact that cholera is ragirig to some extent in
many ol the towns and cities of Georgia, and'
that sanitary regulations are resorted to, as
a means of avoiding as much as possible
this disease, the question has been fre
quently asked in this office—What are your
municipal authorities going to do ?—I have
answered the question jfrivately as I do now
publicly. That we have a board of health
that I am sure are alive to the importance of
preserving the health of our city, and if in
their judgment anything could be done to
ward off this, or any other disease, they will
cheerfully recommend it.
As I feel called upon to make the above
statement, and at the risk of being consider
ed too officious, I will add a few suggestions,
that I think may rio some good if properly
carried out
It has always appeared to me that our peo
ple can, do more to ward'off diseases, partic
ularly all malarial diseases, by proper atten
tion on their own premises, than by any work
or drainage of a public nature.
Physicians tell us that the best way to cure
a disease is to “remove the cause and the
effect will ceasa” May we not apply the
truth of this saying to the subject under
consideration.
In the first place, no drainage on our pub
lic thorough fare, nor the cleaning off the
same of everything that is offensive or likely
to produce sickness, will do much to as
sist in this direction, if our private lots, the
fountain heads, are neglected; which in my
judgment is the cause of much of the siclfc
ness, that is very often attributed to other
agencies. The drainage of the one, is only
‘V : necessary to carry off the water and filth
that would otherwise become stagnant in the
other.
If this be true, then* how important it is
r ' ’for each one to keep open all channels lead
ing from their premises into a public street,"
or ditch, so that when we have a rain, every
Jthing of a nature to produce sickness may
be carried off at once, and not allowed with
the water to remain standing, and thereby
throwing cff/nalaria. If all hog. wallows or*
flat places oil or about our lots are either
drained off, or filled up, apd we would not
i *allow any water of any kind to stand in any
vessel thereby throwing off malarious air—
I am sure it would have a good effect.
There are sometimes places in which filth
.accumulates that cannot well be drained off.
This should be removed at least once a month,,
and in "all places of this kind the free use of
slacked lime, as a disinfectant us needed,
and would do much in,the desired direction.
A handful scattered over such places every
day or two would suffice and be very little
trouble and expense.
I notice in sorrie cities that the sale of fruits
of all kinds is forbidden. This looks hard and
unnecessary in a small place like ours. The
best advice I can give on that subject is to
eat no Bad fruit of any. kind, and not too
much good fruit. Some may console them
selves with the idle reflection that they are
in good health, and it is not necessary to take
' any steps a in sanitary direction, but it should
be a relief‘to know that they may benefit
others by their exertions, and itippy be nec
essary to state that it is not always the poison
ous air arrising’from your own lots, but your
neighbors, that causes you to be sick. In
2. this view of the case then, if in ,no other,
we should be induced to do our duty in this
particular, remembering at all times that “an
ounce of preventive is worth a pound of cure.”
I know it is a difficult matter and a little
troublesome to observe all these precaution
ary measures particularly, when we have
had so much rain for the past three months,
whioh made it necessary to open our ditches
f or drains every few days, and I would not
now call attention to these facts if I did not
feel the importance of it
It is expected that the Board of Health will
visit or cause the same to be done -in a few
■days, every private lot in the city, to ascer
tain if any measures can be adopted to fur
ther preserve the health of the place about
which I feel so much concerned, that I offer
this together with the reasons above given, as
my excuse for thus addressing you.

For the Herald.
Faith.
Faith is not entirely a mental process, an
effort or result of pure reason; neither is it
altogether the work of external spiritual
agency or influences operating upon the heart
and conscience; partaking largely of the ele
ments of belief it yet requires for its perfect
action or development that grace which is
the gift of God.
The mind, keeping within its own sphere
of independent action, may accept certain
given social facts which the" heart will en
tirely fail or refuse to appropriate; while the
heart, also acting within its own sphere, will
recieve and act upon manifestations and ap
pearances which the mind will reject as ab
surdities, refusing, utterly,jto recieve them.
Pure reason establishes ' certain postulates
and starting thence travels by a plain road
with mathematical accuracy to absolute con
clusions, demonstrating the certainty of its
results by a simple reference to its starting
point and the route taken from it; the heart
accepts certain conditions brought to its no
tice, recieves them joyfully, without question
acts upon them, gives up to them its guest-
chamber and feasts them upon its fat things,
and when called to account for its seemingly
abrupt action answers inth§ quiet conscious-,
ness of rectitude, “these conditions met and
supplied all my greatest needs,” and refers
triumphantly to the absolute facts of entiro
adaptation and fitness as sufficient evidence
of the truth and genuine character of the
things it has so appropriated.
The mind may take up all the facts which
form the grand and massive foundation upon
which the beautiful structure of the Christian
religion is reared and reason from these facts
to satisfactory conclusions, but the process
being entirely mental, pure reason unaided
by grace, the heart is utterly unconcerned
either with the process or its result; is not
in the least affected by the clear, satisfactory
and grand conclusion the mind has attained
in reference to the truth of the religion o
Jesus Christ; its silent depths were never
stirred by the various conflicts of the mind
while this great process was going on, and
not a ripple moved the placid surface of "its
still fountains when reason announced its
triumph with a glad hallelujah of rejoicing;
the conclusion of this pure mental process
meant no more to the heart than the conclu
sion of that other mental operation by which
the exact number of Bquare yards in ten acres
of land was ascertained.
It will not certainly be claimed that the
conclusion reached in the mental or reason
ing process just referred to can justly b«cal! ■
ed faith: true, the result is entire, unquestion
ing belief and hearty acceptance of the grea
truths of revelation, the mind is convinced,
the judgment satisfied, all doubt is forever
removed, but there is still wanting another
property or element to constitute faith, Bible
faith.
We have seen that the heart unaided and
uninfluenced by reason accepts certain con •
ditions and appropriates them to its most sa
cred uses, governed only by the seeming fit
ness of the thing so recieved to meet and re
lieve some great, pressing need; the grand
central idea of the Gospel of Christ, the rar.
est gem that burns’ in fadeless glory in its
glitteriug crown, is Love., The Babe of Beth
lehem, the man Jesus weeping at the tomb
of Lazarus, the glorified God manifest in the
flesh on the mount of transfiguration, Yho
crucified Redeemer, the risen Saviour,-the
ascended Lord, is but the embodiment o.
Divine-Love. This gift of God, the poor, tired,
aching heart by an impulse all its own re
cieves with a glad cry of joy and thanksgiv
ing; its earnest cry for an ail supporting, all
sustaining love that can rise in immortal
strength and vigor superior to mortal weak
ness and fears is at once hushed and stilled;
filled full, to repletion of this great, all mas
tering love, taken in all its divine entirety, it
resigns itself to the blessedness of perfect
peace forever; there is no eager questioning
offsets, no careful, critical examination of
evidence, no tedious travel from premise to
conclusion; but upon the first manifesta
tion of that peculiar something to the heart
which it has so long desired and deeded, the
power to supply that want is at once recog
nised and the guest made welcome.
We have here a pure emotional or spiritual
process with which the mind in its reasoning
or reflective capacity has had nothing to
do: from a condition of pain and unrest, the
heart has reached a conclusion which affords
tranquility and repose: just as the mind has
travelled up from the low, dark grounds of
doubt and despair to the clear regions of
truth and joy in believing.,
Now if neither one of th'e independent pro
cesses I have attempted to describe meets
all the requirements of' Bible faith; if that
faith is riot the result of either a mental or
spiritual process separately,it seems to f61-
low with almost logical certainty that faith
must be the result of concurrent mental and
spiritual action; the mind acting upon testi
mony, for faith comes by hearing, the heart
being moved by the spirit of God to recieve
him whom He hath sent, for by grace are ye
saved through faith, faith in Jesus Christ as
th‘e son of God and the Saviour of all who
recieve him is the result. Faith thus be
comes to the heart, the conviction of things
hoped for, to the mind, the evidence of
things not seen, to both mind and heart, the
Power of God unto salvation.
Let me conclude with one of the most beau
tiful instances of childish trust or pure faith,
that has ever met my observation.
A beautiful little girl whose sunny head
had borrowed the golden light of five Octo
ber suns to imprison in its crown of cluster
ing curls, stood "by the side of her aunt who'
was busy at her writing'’desk, folding, ad- i
dressing and stamping ar number of- letters ’
for the evening mail. Little Lillian,” whose
mother one sad still day a short year before
had wearied of the toil, the heat and burthen
of the “dusty, weary way and stepped gently
aside with folded "hands to rest in the • cool
shadows of the valley until the dawn of an
other day, had been intently observing the
movements of the lady at the desk, noticing
especially what she regarded as a great waste
of pictureSjthe putting a stamp on each letter.
Taking one of them and holding it up she
asks: “Aunt Lizzie what makes you put one
of these little pictures on every letter you
mail ?” “That, darling; is to pay the Post
Master for sending the letter to aunt^linnie
and uncle Charlie.” “Will things go wher
ever-you send tliem if ycra put fine of these
t I pictures on, -Antje ?” inquired the little
y child with an earnest look from her large
grey eyes. “Yes, Pet,” thoughtlessly. an
swered the Aunt and gave no further heed
to the -little questioner.
• ,A thoughtful expression rested upon the
sweet face of the lovely child for a moment,
when, unobserved by her'aunt, with the
postage stamp still in her rose bud fingers
she quietly withdrew from the room.
. Thfe clerk in the general delivery window
of the Post Office was startled from his drow
sy, listless waiting for enqhiries for letters,
with the presence of a pure, childish face
framed in soft, sunny ringlets,lighted up with
large, wondering eyes that seemed to mirror 1
eternity in their fathomless depths, an ex- '
pression of such holy, earnest confidence,
such calm beautiful trust; upon it as almost
justified the half formed thought- of the '
drowsy clerk that itr must be some face from
the angel bands in heaven that was looking
in at his window. Just in the center of the
pure, snowy forehead was sticking a three
cent letter stamp.
“Please, Mr. Post Master, I wont to go to
God. Ma-ma went to Trim a long time ago
and she was so good and loved me so, she
Used to kiss me when I said my prayers and
tell me God ifouid take ns to his home in
heaven, and he took her and now I want to [
goto; I’ve got a stung on and aunt Lizzie '
said it would take things wherever she sent j
them.” I
Poor clerk; in all the precious parcels :
freighted with care and sorrow, with love md
hope, he had handled before, never such a
priceless one as this had come to band. Of
all the strange places to which he had for
warded packages before, never had one come
directed •to this place. - With gentle words,
tremulous with emotion, he sought to show
the dear child her mistake; the quiet tears
Come to his own manly eyes as he saw her
great lustrous orbs grow humid and Aim
with unshed tears as she was made to under
stand he could not send her to “God and
Ma-ma.”
On her way home a pair of frenzied horses
darting round a comer came .upon little Lil
lian; their fierce, cruel feet tramjded her
little body in the mire of the street, but her
pure, sweet soul went to ‘ ‘God and Ma-ma.”
The clerk had told the incident which com
ing to the ears of the family, induced-.them
to allow the postage stamp to remain at her
burial where she had placed it. And so the
Postage stamp became the means of sending
little Lillian to God. M.
Letter I'roui W. II. Howard.
Editors Herald:—Under an assumed privi
lege by some individual, the Lord only knows
who, an earthy, ground—itchy, stumpy,
dumpy,,baldheaded communication appear
ed in your last week’s issue, over my signa
ture, purporting to be an apology from my
self to Minus. I herewith pronounce the
whole of it a fabrication and forgery.
Now let facts speak for themselves. In the
first place, I had no apology to make before,
then, or since. I had no grounds, no issue,
occasion, or solicitation to makft. one. It
was Minus that had the apology to make,
and did make it. But in the outset I will
make a statement in justice to my friend
Minus, thereby, exonerating him from all
comjriieiy in this forgery. I the authormakes
me say, I inserted acard under a misappr^he-
sion of facts. What facts? Why, the facts
are these, that in accordance with a formal de
mand made in my card for an explantion
from Minus, he (Minus,) in company with a
huge black bottle, about eighteen inches
and alike horizontal proportions, did hunt me
up, and aftendiligent search finding me in
the fiield at work, did then, and there, ad
mit the issue of provocation made by him
self, from whence sprang my card,in language
most piteous, saying, it was that card “what
fotch him in out of the wet;” and'otherwise
made all needful explanations, and a very
satisfactory apology. As a matter of course,
I, with much compassion, accepted all, then
he and I sealing the pacification by the
emptying said bottle between us of the
meanest bust-head (and it is considered,
I am a judge,) that ever I throwed under my
jacket, my friend Minus will understand,
I am not speakking of the effects or senti
ments, but the taste. O, my! wish I had
asked Minus where he got it.
During the interview and under the effects
of the bust-head and much debility, • my
poor friend Minus seemed to be suffering
immensely, writhrlng, and wincing very
sore under the treatment (medical I suppose)
of Brace o’Pistols, exhibiting it in distoted
features, expostulated words, menacing at
titudes, and fiendish gesticulations, which
was all very natural,. and reasonable in my
mind that he should. In the meantime
threatening retaliation in case the recupera
tion of his health permitted, confirming his
intentions by asserting that he could “grind
up” Brace o’ Pistols,—he could “chew ’em
up.” I suggested to Minus, however, vora
cious his appetite might be, owiqg to the deli
cate condition of his health, that -diet was
too heavy, and would surely sour on his
stomach. The sequel has .proven that he
considered the suggestion) showing conclu
sively to my mirid he would' reply to Brace
O’ Pistols, and in the event solicited the ’use
of my game in his reply; not as an author of
a communication, but to assist him in his
troubles, as I understood him, and I, by way
of sympathy for his misfortunes and ema
ciated condition, did grant him the use of«my
name, as I said before only in a reply of his
own, there being no’issue at all between
Brace O’ Pistols and myself or any body
else. I am too well posted in regard to the
. gentlemanly bearing of my friend Minus to
suppose for a moment, that lie would beg the
use of my name to dodge behind, from the
“enfilading fire” of Brace O’ Pistols, .besides
too, I know his chivalry spirit will always
take pistols and coffee “with sugar in them.”
The truth of the matter is, as I suspect, some
interloping Ranse Sniffle of ficy dimensions
and pretensions, inclinations and aspira
tions (pardon me, I have a natural antipathy
to fice) being over anxious of making a dis
play of his squibbing propensities, presumes
on my well known magnanimity, thereby
essaying to make my name a mask battery
behind which, entrenching “himself to fire
off his squibs at Brace O’ Pistols,, that’s the
rub; now my little fellow, get you gone from
there, can’t come that; in keeping with your
instinctive traits, get at a distance, bark and
look back, or get behind your own battery,
fire away, then “fox your ears,” tuck tail,
have no regard for the location of the “hir-
snteness” of that appendage, bring a spas
modic yell or two, and in. that classic tone,
so much in unisqn with your . own tem-
’perament, yelp, ‘ ‘rats to your holes, at the

Patrons.
A few evenings since we were conversing
•with several ladies and gentlemen concern
ing the pronunciation and derivation of the
word “Patron.” Webster’s pronunciation is
Pa-tron. It is derived from the latin Pgtronus,
which signifies a protector, defender, or ad
vocate. One who countenances supports
and protects either a person or a work. Among
the Romans, a patron was a master who had
manumitted his slave, but at the same time
held some reserved rights or authority over
him after his emancipation. In the church
of Rome a patron was a guardian or saint
under whose special care a person was placed,
and to whom he made supplication. In the ca
non or common law,a patron was one who held
the right of advowson, that is, the authority
to giye or dispose of a benefice, or ecclesiast
ical living to a' minister. In the American,
usage of the word it means a person who
supports or encourages or fosters any work
or enterprise. Thus we have patrons of a
school, or college, patrons of a newspaper,
&£. More recently it has received a mew
signification as applied to agricriltural inter
ests or pursuits, aad we now have the Order
of the Patrons of Husbandry.

Irwinton.—Haeon District Conference.
Editors Herald: A bard, who, it is 'said,
never had a home, wrote: “There is noplace
like home.” I Know that,—"at least, I have
never found any place jnst exactly like it—
hut I have "found—been at—places where I
felt very much at home. . And I am indebted,
I guess, for this experience to about the same
thingThah the pos£*was 'for his knowledge. 1
“How do you make'out that ?” Make it out l
Why by riot staying always at home. The
poet got his impression by mounting his Pe
gasus and traveling round, and I got my idea,
in part, by getting up in the cool part of. last
Thursday morning, and making a “pop-call’’
to the .little town of Irwinton. The Central
train landed me at i^o 16 about the time the
Sun -was getting up for his day’s work; and
then, by the assistance of a couple of trusty
feet which hate never failed me where duty,
called, or pleasure lured or danger threaten
ed, I got to Ray, Wm. S. Baker’s just as break
fast, smoking hot, came upon the table. So
f’mad e capital time—struck the ’Schedule on
the head exactly—was £tt, in good time ! My
name had not been “put in the pot,” but a
plenty of bettef things had been; and the
cordial open hearted welcome, extended by
host and hostess, to take my share, caused
me to feel at once quite at home.
Topographically considered, Irwinton’is
not “like home.” I Pound this ont. during
this visit, Jby personal inspection—for I have
never seei! a description of the place in any
of our books. As to situation it is somewhat
like ancient Rome—6. Rome was founded
on seven hill—Irwinton is on one. This hill
is sui generis. To be plain-find simple, thftre
is no other hill exactly like it. I feel pretty
sure of this. It seems to have been built up
on purpose—“put up to order.” It is got up
in the form of a ridge, running east and west
It is of considerable elevation—lifting those
who inhabit it up into the region of health
ful breezes and extended prospects. Bnt in
point of elevation alone can Irwinton be said
to be “stuck up”—for there is none of this
sort of thing in either the dress or manners
of its polite and hospitable people. Kind,
generous, obliging, they understand well
how to moke a stranger love them and feel
at home in their midst I don’t think, there
is much chance for the town to grow any
larger—unless the out-growth will 'consent to
take a lower seat down in the valley. There
may be some little unoccupied point or an
gle running out on which a few more might
settle and feel upon an equality with their
neighbors; but I think the hill is full—the
town about grown. • Let its moral be as beau
tiful and conspicuous as its physioal position
and it can be truly said it “can not be hid.”
